Welcome to animation quick look. So I’ve talked before about Marvel Animation and it’s hit and miss history. While Disney buying Marvel has been a pretty good boon for them overall, it did essentially kill off the two best animated shows in Marvel history, Spectacular Spider-Man and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, replacing them with their…

With the departure of “Breaking Bad” and the winding-down of “Mad Men”, AMC has lined up a bunch of replacements to fill the dramatic void. Back in the spring, “TURN” premiered, a show about America’s first spy ring during the Revolutionary War. I have not seen that show as I’m not a big fan of…

I have been on a BBC kick lately thanks to my Orphan Black addiction. Orphan Black just finished airing its second season on BBC America and has been paired with two separate shows that couldn’t be more different from one another: “In The Flesh” and “Almost Royal”. In The Flesh “In The Flesh” is a…

Welcome to animation quick look. This installment is a little early as I am going out of town for a bit and don’t know if I’ll be able to watch anything and post while I’m gone. If that’s the case, look for the next post in the first week of July. Anyways, Mother Up is…

Feb 13 Woke up to the good ‘ol reliable blood draw at fucking 4AM. Gotta have that hemo by the time the Mercedes roll in. Then what the fuck do I do? I’m wide awake now. At 4, we’ve got ‘lil ‘lil kids programming, a mess of paid programming, old Married with Children episodes that…

SPOILER ALERT: This review contains full spoilers for the first two seasons of Orange Is the New Black. The second season of Orange Is the New Black is a season of change, yet at the same time it ends with somewhat of a restoration of the status quo. The first season of the show worked…

Welcome to the latest animation quick look! Beforfe M. Night Gofuckyourself turned it into one of the worst things ever put in a theater, Avatar: The Last Airbender was easily one of the greatest animated series ever. It created a fantastic original world and story, had deep, complex and fun characters. Unlike most animated series,…

Welcome to the latest edition of Animation Quick Look! It’s actually been awhile since I’ve watched an anime, and I’ve had this on my “to watch” list for awhile, so it seemed like a good a time as any. In Kill La Kill, how well you do in Honnouji Academy determines everything. Your general social…

Wrestlemania XIX took place just a few months after the Katie Vick angle, AKA that time I stopped watching wrestling for almost four years. As a result, I have no personal memories of the stories and matches that made up the card. Other than a few infamous matches and moments that I’ve heard about over…

Takeover is NXT’s second live event, following the successful NXT ArRival. Coming to you live on the WWE Network, Takeover features a stacked card (and Mojo Rawley is there, too). The NXT Tag, Women’s, and Heavyweight titles are on the line, Adam Rose faces Camacho in front of a crowd that actually enjoys Rose’s gimmick,…

One Night Only: An All-Star Comedy Tribute to Don Rickles May 28th, Spike I am a huge fan of roasts. Some of the funniest moments I’ve seen on any screen consisted of professional insulters eviscerating roast guests and audience members. I still laugh when I remember Jeff Ross delivering the line “I wouldn’t fuck her…

In 1996, Robert Rodriguez unleashed the vampire/robbery thriller “From Dusk Till Dawn” unto the world. I will admit that I LOVED this movie when it came out. I actually saw it in the movie theatre three times. There was never anything quite like it. The first half of the movie begins as a simple heist…

Welcome to the latest Animation Quick Look! Ok, I never watched a whole lot of He-Man as a kid. I mean I’ve seen the show and I saw the underrated live action classic starring Dolph Lundgren. But it wasn’t one of those shows I was hugely into as a kid. Still, I got the jist.…

1. A tiny bit of backstory for those not in the know. I’ve spent a shitload of time in the hospital over the past couple plus years. Probably 5 or more months of real time. Basically I have a lot of problems symptomatic of Diabetes without actually having Diabetes. I’ve had six(SIX!) total amputations on…

Hey, guys. It’s been a while. How are you? You look great. Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that I LOVE the Shield. Because I’ve gotten them to watch it or am still currently nagging them to watch it. It’s one of my top 3 TV shows of all time. It…
